Half Dome from Mt. Hoffman
This is the first time that i’ve posted a picture of half-dome where there is land visible all around it. See usually what you see above half-dome is sky. I spent a few minutes looking around on google images and flickr and i could only come up with a couple. The reason for this is…

Fallen Tree Stump near May Lake – YNP
This is the stump of a fallen tree, the part that when the tree was healthy and living was facing directly downwards. The size of it is immense. I remember last year joking that it would make a great fireplace mantle as it’s about 12 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The complexity of the…

May Lake
This past weekend we got to visit the Lay Lake high sierra camp again. Like last year (somehow) we ended up being there over the final weekend of the season. Everyone who works there is about to end their season and go off and do other things – they celebrate by having even fancier than…

Tuolumne River – (one more!)
We just got back from the trip and I’ve got a whole mess of film to develop. For now – here’s one more from around Glen Aulin. I’ll be working on the film this week. Also there’s some stuff from the east coast i’ve been sitting on from this summer. New Jersey – Wildwood even…

Tuolumne River… Back in the hills
On the way back out to the meadow from Glen Aulin we made a short detour to check out Devil’s Postpile. I chose not to check out the Postpile and watch everyone’s gear as they took the short hike off-trail (aka: eat a clif bar, drink some water and climb down the rocks to shoot…

YNP – California Falls
About a mile and a half past Glen Aulin is California Falls, the first of 3 sets of water falls. As the water level is relatively low it’s pretty easy to walk right up to the water’s edge. During the spring time i can only imagine how much more water comes through there – all…

Near California Falls – YNP
We stopped for lunch around California Falls on our way down the trail Saturday afternoon. The landscape all around us was amazing, you could easily see tens of miles in every direction. This area is covered with snow for a majority of the year – on average there is 300-500 inches (that’s 25 – 41…

Morning Light on the Tuolumne River
We were only there for 2 mornings, but this is what it look on each of them. The water was so clear you could generally see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was (granted it’s late summer and the water isn’t really that deep, maybe 20 feet at the most). More than…

Glen Aulin Lodge – YNP
The main building at Glen Aulin is a large tent. In this tent – like all of the high-sierra camps (or at least the 2 that i’ve been to) – a lot of things take place. When you arrive at camp you walk into this tent and check in with the camp manager (Tim). He…
